Citizens can rely on promises of PPP/C Govt – Min McCoy

– As new communal kitchen commissioned in Santa/Aratack

Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Public Affairs Kwame McCoy has outlined that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) administration is committed to and has proven that it can deliver on its promises to the citizenry.

His statement comes on the heels of his recent commissioning of the brand-new communal kitchen facility in Santa/Aratack, Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara).
According to the minister, the PPP/C government has largely delivered on its commitments to the people, contrasting this with the previous APNU/AFC Coalition’s record of failing to uphold their promises during their time in office.
“When you examine the previous government of this country, and in particular the government of the APNU/AFC coalition that made all of the grand promises, as it did in 2015, the people in this country have been witnesses to just another con mission,” he stated.
He added, “Within this country, there is a government, which is the PPP/C, and there is a President, Dr. Mohammed Irfaan Ali, that the people across this country can rely on to deliver on promises and commitments.”
The minister warned about current attempts by the APNU-AFC to make false promises, stating that the opposition is currently gauging to head into communities to spread false promises.
“I will tell you this: we are one year away from elections, and those who have been making promises to you in the past have begun their journey around these villages again in their grand scheme to deceive people and to once again make false promises. I warn you, look out for those individuals; they will come not necessarily looking like me in a very simple casual outfit; they’ll come in suits and ties and with fancy words to deceive you.”
Meanwhile, this is the first-ever communal kitchen that the community of Santa Aratack has received.
The gift, which was made possible through the Men on Mission (MoM) initiative, aims to provide the community’s children and those in need with warm, nutritious meals daily. The facility will see almost 50 nursery and primary school children receiving fresh, well-balanced meals.
In this regard, Minister McCoy explained how all of the PPP government’s initiatives are interconnected.
“And so all of these things are interrelated and connected as an overall program that works towards the development of communities that you may have as a deliberate policy: a school program that gets meals for our children.”
He also contrasted the PPP Government’s track record with that of the former APNU+AFC administration, and as such, is warning communities to beware of fake promises being made by them as campaigning begins for next year’s polls.
In addition to false promises made by the opposition, false accusations in recent times have continued to ramp up against the government in hopes of creating false perceptions. Only some months ago minister within the office of the prime minister with responsibility for Public Affairs, Kwame McCoy urged the public to continue to highlight the opposition’s mischievous actions.
Launched in October 2022, the Men on Mission (MoM) Initiative aims to combat toxic masculinity while fostering a supportive environment for men. Through mentoring and humanitarian engagement, the Men on a Mission initiative promotes integrity, productivity, and accountability within communities. Since its inception, the Men on a Mission initiative has been dedicated to constructing homes for vulnerable persons, including the elderly and single mothers. The beneficiaries have to be landowners to qualify for a newly built house.
